  • Accidental Hero /Accidental Murder: When Yuriko is trying to pull Sunny out of a tree, the laws of physics kick in when Yuriko frees Sunny and Sunny is sent flying like a torpedo and slams into Eddy. Eddy is then launched into Ra's mouth as she was charging an attack, which makes them both poof into golden dust.
  • And I Must Scream: The situation Redman trapped the non-contestant kaijus in: He kidnaps them, brings them to his planet, kills them, and then revives them. Repeat the last two steps ad nauseam.
  • Answer Cut: After Sunny narrowly avoids getting killed by Pucci and watching him get killed by a Red Arrow, she wonders where Yuriko is. Cut to Yuriko getting railed by Velora.
  • Aim for the Horn: While fighting the Ultimasaurus, Racheal leaps off Ira and delivers a haymaker to one of his horns, which shatters it.
  • And This Is for...: In Racheal's speech to Redman just before the fight starts, she says that every attack landed isn't just payback for her friends, but for everyone else he's shamelessly killed and the monsters he’s turned into a personal punching bag.
  • Ascended Extra: The Alien Zarab, one of the first monsters the contestants faced in the 14th episode, is now a proper contestant.

  • Author Appeal: Invoked; Every contestant for this month comes from a franchise that the author really likes.
  • Avenging the Villain: Indirectly; In Racheal's speech to Redman, she states that every attack she lands isn't payback for her friends, but also everyone he's killed and the monsters he kills for sport, with several of those contestants he killed were villains.
  • Ax-Crazy: Redman. It doesn't get more crazy than trapping a bunch of monsters on his planet which he then kills over and over again for his sick kicks.
  • Back for the Dead: Semi-Perfect Cell, Pucci, and Kiryu are all revived for, and die again in, this episode.
  • Badass Boast: Pucci delivers an admittedly well earned one after Semi-Perfect Cell doubts he'll be of any use in their introductions:
    Pucci: "I'd watch what you say. You are staring at the face of a man who will bestow upon all the true path to Heaven. I have no more secrets to hide, for I have proven I can make it to the top."
  • Bathos: When Guldo's ride Ultraman Tiga gets eaten by a Cock Demon, Guldo nonchalantly says it sucks to be him and wonders where to find a decent space-soda.
  • Berserk Button: Miles asking who brought the mutated possum causes Moxxie to pounce on him with a feral shriek.

  • Beyond Redemption: Racheal repeatedly gives Redman chances to give up and walk away, but he repeatedly rejects the offer each time, even attempting to take control of all the monsters to sic on Racheal after she beats him.

  • Big Damn Heroes: Just as the Piranhaconda is about to lunge at The Scout, Minos knocks it out by ramming his body into it.
    • When Gokinezula traps Racheal, Ira, Applejack, and Big Macintosh with his webbing, Fluttershy shows up to talk down the monster and frees our trapped heroes.
    • On the fifth day, just as Redman is about to land a killing blow on Racheal, Minos grabs Redman's hand and crushes it, diverting Redman's attention onto him.
  • Bigger Is Better in Bed: Subverted; When Moxxie and Minos compare dick sizes, he's proud of having been able to pleasure his wife Millie even if his is not as big as Minos'. He also outlasts Yuriko in their hours-long romp with his endurance.

  • Broken Win/Loss Streak: Racheal not only breaks her losing streak by winning, but in the process also finally breaks the massive losing streak Las Lindas has suffered since the second episode.
  • The Bus Came Back: In terms of contestants, Chi-Chi, Moxxie, Ira, Racheal Saleigh, Namah Calah, Kass, Applejack, and Spongebob Squarepants return from previous Arenas. Cell also returns, but now in his Semi-Perfect form.

Ira then kills him by stabbing him in the heart.

    Kass: "Record?"
    Namah Calah: "To see if I can last longer before it's game over. Thing is, we don't really 'die'. We just get killed and maybe get sent back for more. Pisses me off, but at least I know time means nothing. We’re not missing anything back home."
  • Defeat Equals Explosion: Redman finishes off Ira by tossing the dinosaur over the crater's edge, which causes Ira to explode.
  • Deus ex Machina: Just as Redman takes control of the monsters and is about to use them to kill Racheal, Ultraman Cosmos suddendly shows up to save Racheal and the monsters and defeats Redman for good.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: According to Mordecai, a dirty room and asymmetrical things are worthy enough of shooting someone in the head over.
  • Do Not Go Gentle: As Racheal prepares to fight Redman one last time, she gives Redman a big speech about who she is and who she's fighting for, even as she admits she doubts Redman cares:
    Racheal Saleigh: "I was kinda like you right now. I had everything I could ask for. Born with a silver spoon in my mouth. But the more I think of it...if I never ran away...if I never did it for the sake of somebody who wasn’t even kin...I would have turned out rotten like you. And every decision I've made up to now...I don't regret a thing! I found a home! I found love! TWICE! And I've been put through this gauntlet so many times, it's not funny! You almost made me give up entirely. I'll give you that. But don't kid yourself. I remember why I fight again. Why I train. I don't just do it for the gains. I do it to protect the people I love. The people who've never given up on me! And I won't let their hope in me go to waste just because of you! Who am I?! I'm the cat who's about to kick you off your high horse! I'M RACHEAL! Every single attack I land on you isn't just payback for my friends and everybody else you’ve shamelessly killed...but for every monster you've turned into your punching bag because what? Funsies?"
    Redman: [screams in rage] "REDDO FIGHT!"
    Racheal: "Touched a nerve? Okay. Guess I overdid it. Let's go."

  • Everyone Has Standards: While Velora prides herself on going around in the buff, she has a limit of doing it around kids.

  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: After hearing what Redman is doing to the kaijus, Fluttershy willing chooses violence as a solution as animal abusers are a sore spot for her, and Big Macintosh gets a feeling of wanting to hear what it would sound like to snap his neck. Damn.

Later in the same chapter Rarity calls Redman a bastard after his Red Lightning attack kills Fluttershy.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: The first guess Pinkie Pie has on where Big Macintosh has been is that he defected to an alien revenge squad to get back at Starfleet. While he did defect to get back at Starfleet, he joined Luna's secret rebellion, and not some alien squad.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As Juno and Eddy are caught in the middle of Ra’s fight with Videl and Android 18 and try to make a cut-and-run. Juno's able to escape, but Eddy is not so lucky, though with Eddy Ra wasn't the direct reason for his death.
